Mrs. Peacock, in the Study, with the Fountain Pen

So if you buy that three-hundred dollar pen I talked about last week, you're going to need some ink, right? I propose something nice and spendy. A bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku ink will be right up your alley. It's the same brand, for one thing, and for another, it's just beautiful all around, price tag or no.

This particular color is Ku-jaku, or Peacock. I got a sample of it recently and really, really liked it. Look! It's so pretty! And not only that, the packaging for the Iroshizuku line is fantastic. Look at that bottle! It's not ugly, it's not gaudy. It's just plain classy. And the little string around the neck is like a little scarf that completes it! Also, though you can't see it behind the lovely simple label, there is a little dip into the base of the bottle so that when your ink level gets low, you can still get your pen in deep enough to fill it.
